February Challenge #2

I had a long, skinny frame that has a 5" by 12" opening. I cut a piece of white cardstock to 5" by 12" and raided my paper stash to find coordinating papers for a Valentine's Day themed art piece. All the paper is Chatterbox (which made coordinating a breeze) and I only needed enough for a punch (I'm a paper hoarder). The ribbon across the middle is also Chatterbox. I wanted it to have a little dimension like Ali's butterflies, so I opted to take the glass out. I crumpled the paper and then ironed it flat for texture. I also lightly sponged black ink along the edges of the hearts to tie it in to the black frame. I spaced the hearts evenly and attached them with a tiny pop-dot.

I love the way it turned out so much, I'm going to repurpose it for St. Patrick's Day with green shamrocks. I made the entire thing with stuff from my stash...whoo-hoo for me!

For more great ideas, activities and recipes, check out Scribbit's Winter Bazaar!

Holy cow! You are good! I could never think of that kind of stuff. i guess we all have our own talents. PS All I have is a crock pot (no oven). Do you have more recipes for crockpots that you like? Not soups just meals?

Okay, so I did look a little more on your blog for recipes and that family website. I guess I could've done that instead of asked. sorry. we mostly like chicken just because it's less expensive. I'll have to wait for your Thursday blog for that one you guys really like.
